Tupelo Honey

Holley Bishop wrote an eloquent book about bees and honey titled Robbing the Bees. The nature of honey is a function of the type of flowers attended by the gathering honey bees.

A highly valued form of honey is tupelo honey. Tupelo buds grow on tupelo trees. Tupelo trees grow in Alabama and Georgia but are found in the greatest numbers in the panhandle section of Florida. Tupelo honey is light in color, unique in flavor and does not crystallize like other forms of honey.1
